Well, first of all, I absolutely support and over the
last four years as vice president, private healthcare options.
But what we need to do is maintain and grow
the Affordable Care Act.
But I I'll get to that.
Lindsay, I just need to respond to a previous point
that the former president has made.
I've made very clear my position on fracking and then
this business about taking everyone's guns away.
Tim Walz and I are both gun owners.
We're not taking anybody's guns away.
So stop with the continuous lying about this stuff as
it relates to the Affordable Care Act, Understand, Let's just
look at the history to know where people stand.
When Donald Trump was president 60 times he tried to
get rid of the Affordable Care Act 60 times.
I was a senator at the time when I will
never forget the early morning hours when it was up
for a vote in the United States Senate and the
late great John McCain, who you have disparaged as being
you don't like him.
You said at the time because he got caught he
was an American hero.
The late great John McCain, I will never forget that
night, walked onto the Senate floor and said no you
don't, No you don't, No you don't get rid of
the Affordable Care Act.
You have no plan.
And what the Affordable Care Act has done is eliminate
the ability of insurance companies to deny people with pre-existing
conditions.
You have to tell the people watching tonight you remember
what that was like.
Remember when an insurance company could deny if a child
had asthma, if someone was a breast cancer survivor, if
a, if a grandparent had diabetes?
And thankfully, as I've been vice president and we over
the last four years have strengthened the Affordable Care Act,
we have allowed for the first time, Medicare to negotiate
drug prices on behalf of you, the American people.
Donald Trump said he was going to allow Medicare to
negotiate drug prices.
He never did.
We did, and now we have capped the cost of
insulin at $35.00 a month.
Since I've been vice president, we have capped the cost
of prescription medication for seniors at $2000 a year.
And when I am president, we will do that for
all people, understanding that the value I bring to this
is that access to healthcare should be a right and
not just a privilege of those who can afford it.
And the plan has to be to strengthen the Affordable
Care Act, not get rid of it.
In terms of where Donald Trump stands on that, I
want to move to an issue that's important for a
lot.
She made a mistake at #1 John McCain fought Obamacare
for 10 years.
But it wasn't only him, it were all of the
Democrats that kept it going.
And you know what?
We can do much better than Obamacare.
Much less money.
But she won't improve private insurance for people.
Private medical insurance.
That's another thing she doesn't want to People are paying
privately for insurance.
